I have problems with new users and machines. Old users works but they don't show up with smbldap-usershow command and I've problem in changing their passwords. If I check the ldap

Should I be required to add the machine to my passwd file even if I am using LDAP when joining a W2K domain domain? The only way I can get a machine to join my Samba PDC is via the following commands. # /usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "asa" -s /bin/false asa$ # smbpasswd -a -m asa I thought that using ldapsam would lookup all machine information from LDAP without having to

I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered

Hi, I'm tyrying to set up a Samba PDC with LDAP backend, i followed the excellent samba guide on the chapter making users happy, the problem is according to the guide when I execute the smbpasswd -w "secret" command, the expected outcome is Setting stored password for "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" in secrets.tdb but what i get is Setting stored password for ""

Hello List, i am trying to understand the LDAP-backend i just set up. Maybe someone can help me a little understanding the whole magic.

Hi ! I cant add any user (person, and machine) to my domain made with samba-3.0.1, openldap-2.0.27, new samba.schema, smbldap-tools-0.8.3. I have to migrate from ldap_compact to ldap backend.

Hello all, I am attempting to setup a Samba 3.0.2a based PDC using OpenLDAP 2.2.6 for my user/group authentication backend. So far everything seems to be working properly, I can join the domain from a Win2k PC, login via an account created with smbldap-useradd.pl, map my home directory, run the proper login script, etc. However, with all of that working I'm still having difficulties getting

He Guys, When we add a client pc (win2k) to our domain everything goes well except that the add machine script wont run.

Hi, I'm trying to setup a Samba with ldap backend, I followed tha samba by example chapter 6, followed the instcution in the book, and when it says to add an idmap data container, LDAP won't allow me to add the idmap something like this : adding new entry "ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id" ldapadd: update failed: ou=Idmap,dc=test,dc=co,dc=id ldap_add: Constraint violation (19)

I had done this before, with no good effect, but checked more carefully this time and found that it was my machine account that was not being found, not the root account. Further investigation shows that when

I'm working on migrating from Mandrake 10.0 to Ubuntu 5.10. The last, and probably most important, service to be moved is Samba... The setup is fairly simple, here is is: - Mandrake Linux 10.0 - Samba 3.0.10 Here's the "global" Samba configuration of my server: [global] workgroup = <workgroup name> server string = <string> passdb backend =

Hi all, I've configured my samba server to work with my ldap backend, the configuration of ldap is correct and in fact my users can interactively login. The problem is with samba, that is always returning a NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE when a user tries to access a share. I'm in doubt if I have to add ldap accounts through the ldap-tools of samba or not, at the moment I did not add any
